Intussusception is a rare event seen in adults; we hereby present a case of 60 years old male who presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction. On exploratory laparotomy, the patient was found to had an ileocolic intussusception along with large mesenteric lymph node, resection of the ileocolic segment was done, and the histopathology and immunohistochemistry were suggestive of Mantle Cell Lymphoma which is a subtype of B-Cell Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Patient has been managed with 6 cycles of R-CHOP chemotherapy.
